Thinking to Founders, Framers, so much against any established religion, representing numerous views & beliefs w/little unity. Thus, examples like Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli (1797): "As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion"🗃️
I saw a guy in the Mission District on Saturday wearing a "Christ is King" t-shirt and I wasn't sure at the time whether he was supporting or opposing No Kings
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."
Of course the ACA took a finite amount of time to implement but it's not like GoFundMe exploded overnight either
Not the most objectionable thing here but the Affordable Care Act was signed into law in March of 2010 and GoFundMe was founded two months later.
this dickhead didn’t post this to bsky, but fuck you @talsmith.bsky.social . this legislation saved my life. condescending piece of shit.
I'm surprised it was the cartels and not George Soros
The so-called Homeland Security Secretary is a corrupt and malignant fraud.

This video she sanctioned is fake.

Manipulated by cowards who hide behind masks while violating the law.
I can't speak for all of his voters but it's hard to overstate the degree to which Donald Trump and those serving in his administration hate our country and everything it purports to stand for
and another thing: he’s not mad. please don’t put it in the newspaper that he got mad.

it’s been horrifying to see how many republicans believe in the “elected dictator” theory especially after they spent the entire Biden and Obama presidencies (who both won by larger margins) saying that they are dictators
This is a violation of US and international law and you haven't provided any evidence that these are drug traffickers or terrorists.

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

Trump broke America's constitutional order and simply pretending he didn't will not restore it. We'll need to build a new one to replace it and that starts with severe consequences and retribution for the crimes and treason of this administration.
"Who won the 2020 election?" will be a banger
I'd be surprised if becoming a citizen doesn't soon require an attestation that you plan to register to vote as a Republican

The Trump administration says more difficult questions, and other changes to the naturalization process, will ensure only immigrants who are "fully assimilated" will gain citizenship.
The test for U.S. citizenship is about to get harder

Yeah I mean I'm just providing a counterpoint to the original post implying that tech workers are (rightfully) skeptical of technology. I agree that there isn't sufficient third party data demonstrating that case or sufficient regulation ensuring it
I don't have a sense of what the most common view is but I know a lot of tech workers in San Francisco in particular who insist that the data shows that they're safer than human drivers so we should roll them out ASAP
As someone who actually works on safety critical robots I'm deeply skeptical of (very under regulated) self driving cars and am surprised that tech workers in general are so unquestioningly confident about them
Thank you @governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, this is much more serious than the antisemitism we've seen on college campuses and congress must take it seriously
Not sure which possibility is worse, that conservatives could understand history and the constitution poorly enough to believe that what's left of the VRA is unconstitutional, or that they're gaslighting us and just pretending to believe that while using their SCOTUS majority to rewrite our laws
a real question for the roberts majority is what in their view distinguishes jim crow disenfranchisement from majority-minority districts? a related question is what in their view made the typical jim crow law — which was facially neutral — unconstitutional?
white reactionaries disenfranchising black voters to secure political power? that’s a jim crow. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...
They could even add some sort of proactive verification for notable people at risk of impersonation

Trump is saying the quiet part out loud: he sent a $20B taxpayer-financed bailout to help his far-right buddy Milei cling to power.

Meanwhile our government is shut down, public servants aren't getting paid & we're barreling toward a Trump-made health care crisis. Sounds like Argentina First to me.
Trump on Milei: "If he loses, we will not be generous with Argentina."
I wonder how the list would look if it were per revenue minute rather than per revenue mile - a subway or regional rail system with dedicated ROW and larger spacing between stations should be more efficient on a per mile basis than a light rail system, particularly that shares street space with cars
May also be related to term limits, I wonder how much longer the average tenure is for a legislator in Albany than in Sacramento
